Changing Languages in VersionOne

VersionOne> Language Flexibility

 

VersionOne Applications are adaptable for translation to many languages by changing terminology in the localization file.

In the /strings directory under the VersionOne application on the web server, you will find the en.base.txt file that defines terminology in English. By copying that file and renaming it to the appropriate language ISO639-1 code (for example, Spanish would be es.base.txt, German would be de.base.txt), you can then edit the file and change any term after an “=” sign, but not in { }.  You can find the Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages here.

An example of the es.base.txt file can be seen below. Some of the terms that have been changed to Spanish are highlighted for clarification:

 Localization File

Once this file is created, you must change your language setting in your browser  to that appropriate language. In order for special characters to display correctly, you must save you file with UTF-8 encoding.

 Save As

When you refresh your page, the terms you have changed will now appear in place of the English terms. See example below:
